4' x 9' Hand-Knotted Persian Hamadan Area Rug
Item Details
This antique Persian Hamadan rug features a classic hand-knotted construction with a distinctive directional prayer niche design. The central field is composed of a deep navy blue stepped medallion populated with a dense, repeating geometric Boteh or ‘seed’ pattern in shades of terracotta and cream. Striking yellow spandrels frame the top and bottom of the niche, providing a high-contrast ground for stylized floral and avian-like tribal motifs. The composition is enclosed by a multi-layered border system, featuring a primary cream-ground border with alternating geometric floral rosettes and serrated leaves. The wool pile exhibits a natural variegated abrash, indicating the use of traditional vegetable dyes. This textile serves as a functional floor covering or a decorative wall hanging, representing the robust weaving traditions of the Hamadan village region.
